Sixers had no fast-break points until that Seth Curry 3 to cut their deficit to 10.
Offense has looked slow and unimaginative, but they’ve still got time to avoid another loss to a badly shorthanded opponent. – 8:30 PM

Joel Embiid just took the ball the full length of the floor before rifling a pass to Seth Curry, whose corner 3 makes this a 54-44 game in the 2nd quarter. Sixers are on the 2nd game of a back-to-back but they’re not gonna lay down. Curry & Embiid each w/10 points. – 8:28 PM

Even after last night’s lackluster effort, I never thought the Sixers would trail a Nets squad with seven players in protocols by 19 points in the second quarter. – 8:25 PM

The 9-player Nets have extended their lead to 19 here at the 5:10 mark of the 2nd quarter. Sixers have more talent at their disposal by far. The Nets are out-working them. – 8:23 PM

Blown away by how good Kevin Durant is. Sixers doubling to get the ball out of his hands and he makes the right play so easily every time.
Equally not blown away by Joel Embiid creating three 3s in the first two minutes and the Sixers not getting anything from that again. – 8:09 PM

If Kessler Edwards can keep knocking down open 3s, there’s no reason why he won’t find himself in the rotation when everyone’s healthy. Nets need wing perimeter shooting and defense and Edwards, albeit a rookie, provides that off the bench. #Nets – 8:01 PM

Joel Embiid has the quickest feet I’ve seen for someone his size. I don’t know how he finessed that euro-step around Blake Griffin. That’s a charge for a lot of guards attacking Blake. – 7:45 PM

Kevin Durant ranks fourth in minutes per game, but with 7 players in the health and safety protocols, the Nets have little choice but to play him or punt games.

Matisse Thybulle has the ability to shut down Steph Curry one night, then Tyrese Maxey the next.
I wrote a bit about the impact his lack of shooting had in last night’s game, and the concerns for keeping him in the starting lineup: dailysix.com/matisse-thybul… – 3:58 PM

📅 On this day in 1986, the @Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan scored 41 points in a 99-98 win over the Nets.
It was the first of 40 straight 25-point games for Jordan, tied for the fourth-longest such streak in NBA history. He is the only player to have two such streaks of 40+ games. pic.twitter.com/htAXsYX8u9 – 2:31 PM
